Meetings

We are hosting a company charades party on Zoom utilizing breakout rooms. The actor needs to communicate with the host directly via chat. is this possible? Also, we have enable the "chat to anyone" feature but the participant in the breakout room can't seen me to send a message to the host. How can we make that happen?

How can I hide the number of participants in a meeting. Only the host should see the number.Thanks for feedback

Since Zoom Support is basically non-existent (multiple hours in now with a support person basically asking me to try a different browser and no follow up), I'm here for help. I recorded an hour long video meeting and saved it to the cloud. I go to my account, and there is the meeting along with video, audio and a text file (two messages were sent in chat).  I hit download and the only thing that downloads is the text. I try again and again and again. Same result. I go to a new browser, clear cookies, clear cache, sign out/sign back in. Same result. I have tried on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Chroe Mobile. Same results. I deleted the text file in hopes that it would then download the others. Same results. Tried to just solely download the audio. Same with video. Same results.  When I click the downloads, nothing happens. When I click on the file or share the link, it takes me to a new page with a video player that has an X over it and it says, "The media could not be

When I join someone's Zoom room for the first time, it takes a loooong time to connect—like about 2-3 minutes. After that first time joining, Zoom joins the room in about 10 seconds. I am using the latest version of the Zoom app 6.1.11 (39163) on a 2023 MacBook Air (Apple M2 chip), running Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1. At various times I have tried closing all open apps, restarting my computer, and restarting the Zoom app. Is there something else I can try? Thanks! Josh

I have a wired connection to the internet. I do not use wifi and do not want to.  I am experiencing "Your Internet Connection is Unstable" too constantly. I have made sure to have as little running in the background as possible. As well, I usually have from 1 to 25 additional people on at the same time as me during some of the meetings. I need help because connecting online is critical for my business and this issue is causing a loss of revenue.

Hello Hive Mind! I had an idea and I'm not sure if it's even possible. I have a conference for which we will be using PowerPoint and Zoom. I thought it would be convenient to just embed a Zoom window inside one of the PowerPoint slides to make life easier. This way we're not bouncing between the PowerPoint and the Zoom. Is this within the realm of possibility ? Thanks so much!

Hi everyone, I've recently run into issues on playing back  a Zoom recording. In the Zoom recording folder, there is an xcode_error log which I have not seen before.  The first half of the playback is fine, up until a certain period. The playback issues come in 2 stages:Video freezing/ stutter, audio remainsVideo freezing/ stutter, then audio replaying too quickly (at least x2 speed)During the last minute of the playback, things return to normal. The xcode log contains the following:task 1-5.0.24c292.0512:  [file path]05/16/2022 12:45:56:718 : [C2055]:16779265,16,12805/16/2022 12:45:57:432 : [C2055]:16778241,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:00:945 : [C2055]:16779265,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:01:679 : [C2055]:16778241,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:05:043 : [C2055]:16779265,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:05:822 : [C2055]:16778241,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:09:191 : [C2055]:16779265,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:09:962 : [C2055]:16778241,16,12805/16/2022 12:46:12:869 : [C2055]:16779265,16,12805/16/2022

Zoom does not detect my headset (neither as a microphone or as a speaker) and I cannot use any headset.Apparently it might be related to the Intel Smart Sound Technology for USB Audio but I can't solve the issue.My Zoom had always worked fine with all sorts of headsets until recently (and I haven't changed anything in my PC or Zoom settings).Please help, I use Zoom on a daily basis for conference and now I can't!

I have a scenario where a zoom meeting was created with email containing a subdomain . When the user tried to log in with alias domain it showed an error saying `Waiting for Host to start the meeting` now the user logged in to zoom app email used to create the meeting but still faced the same issue. The user tried to login and logout multiple times and still faced the issue. The meeting was listed in the Upcoming meeting tabs for both the email accounts. How can this be fixed? 

there must be a simple switch to turn on to do this, its something basic but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to work, some guidance please, thank you  Just for full explanation what I'm trying to do is when I create an event and I had an email for the attendee to attend. They are not currently getting an invitation so if you know how to do this please advise me thank you.

I have tried a lot of ways to minimize the 'Please wait for the host to start this meeting' window. It is annoying and I cannot watch anything until the meeting starts because the popup blocks quarter of my screen. Please help!

I record interviews locally. I cut my mic and cam. I ask my interviewees to wait for 3 seconds before answering the question. Still I miss the images of the first words of the interviewees. Is there a way to record only the cam of the interviewee? Or how do I get all the images of everything they say. 

Whenever I start a new meeting my message options are all active Substitutions: Smart quotesSubstitutions: Smart dashCorrect Spelling automaticallyetc Every meeting I have to disable them, I would like to setup this settings in my account directly but I cannot find it. 

When I start a webinar with a practice_session, I receive a "webhook.started" event. Fine. I would like to receive a new one, "webhook.started" or at least a "webhook.updated" when the client pass it as LIVE from the Zoom webinar UI. The point is, our app must have different behavior at the start of the webinar practice session, then when it goes live. Is there a way to catch the click of the author when it runs the "Live" session/leave the practice_session to go Live ? Thanks

Hello - I have a Pro account that is paid in full and it still will not let me schedule past the 40 minute mark. I have asked for help from the ZOOM desk with no response and I have an important meeting tomorrow. This happened at a meeting yesterday as well - the countdown started in the middle of a meeting when I pay for the PRO. Anyone able to help please? 

We use the Meetings SDK, a few months ago we upgraded from v2 to v3.8 but today we got an email saying "we have identified that your application is running a version of the SDK that will be retired"  This comes as a surprise as we use 3.8 of the web sdk, and never used 2.17 at all (so it wouldnt have been working for months if that was the case). Is zoom mis-identifying what accounts are using old SDKs, am I taking crazy pills, is there any way to get more information about what and when the old SDK was used? Thanks,Tim

I have access to all meeting transcripts, however, when I try to see the second page of my meeting transcripts, it gives me a temporary (goes away) error message "the system could not process your request at this time." I have tried 2 browsers, and the error is consistent. Out of all my transcripts, I can only access the ones on the first page. the rest are not loading when I click the next page. Is there a fix to this?

I use Zoom everyday to share my screen from my Macbook to my work desktop to the screen (I'm a teacher). Today, I noticed that it was not only switching sharing between my Firefox windows (not tabs, but actual windows) and then also to test, it shared with Finder. This worries me because I often have sensitive student data (like work emails or IEP's). Restarting Zoom ended it, but it scares me that it even happened in the first place. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Some clients and coworkers have issues with my head movement when I walk on the treadmill during Zoom meetings.  Can anyone recommend video stabilization software I could use to resolve?  I use an HD Pro Webcam C920.  If software won't resolve is there a recommended camera that would resolve.  

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to see if anyone has faced similar issues with Zoom Meetings (Version 5.15.7) and might have some advice. Despite having a high-speed fiber internet connection, I’ve been experiencing frequent audio and video freezes during my Zoom calls. This is becoming a major concern, especially during important meetings. I suspect it could be related to my current IT solutions, such as my router configuration or firewall settings. I have tried restarting the router and checking for firmware updates, but it didn’t solve the problem. I’m wondering if advanced settings like QoS (Quality of Service), port forwarding, or firewall rules could be interfering with Zoom’s connectivity. Has anyone else had similar problems with Zoom on high-speed internet, and if so, what steps did you take to resolve them? Should I look into optimizing the router or firewall settings to ensure smooth video and audio performance? I would appreciate any advice on diagnosing a

I cant open the downloaded zoom desktop application. I have a mac with the OS Ventura. Every time I try to install it it stops at the last point saying I need to contact help center. And when I try to submit a request Zoom says my email is not associated to an account, although I am logged in. Can anyone help me? 

I have an upcoming meeting that could hit the 500-participant cap. I want to understand what the cap means. Is it 500 users at a single moment? Or is it 500 distinct users over the life of the meeting itself? Could I potentially have a list of 1000 people that attended, but fewer than 500 at any given moment?
